About the course

This course covers key concepts essential to understanding valve positioners in actuated valves. You will learn what valve deadband is and how it is caused by friction, impacting valve control accuracy. The course also explores the different signal types used for valve positioners and explains their working principles in detail. Additionally, you will gain insights into the various interfaces surrounding the positioner and how they contribute to system communication. You'll also delve into topics like diagnostics and asset management, as well as Partial Stroke Testing.
